or eXpedient.
Sec. 2 The near approach of the close
of the session, and the fact that
litigation affecting important inter
ests of the state is pending, impending
and necessary, and that there is no law
now in force sufficiently regulating this

cessity and an emergency that the con-
stitutional rule requiring bill to be read
on three several days be suspended, that
this act take effect and be in force from

acted. Approved, April 4, 1887.

zion of the constitutional rule requiring

that this bill be placed upon it's Immediate

PERMANENT HEADQUARTERS.
Recomm sndation of the McLennan County
Alliance

Recommendation of the mcLennan County
Alliance.
50eeial to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, April 29.-The committee
from the McLennan County Alliance,
composed of the following named gen
tlemen: B. J. Kendrick, chairman: c.
". Wilcox, secretary; c.. c.
COnger, Rev. W. L. Harrison and
n. B. Harris, has addressed a circular
TO all the alliances in the state of Texas
advocating the location of permanent
headquarters for the Alliance, Grange
and Knights of Labor. The committee
in their address give good reasons for the
adoption of their suggestions. They say
the orders named are growing all the
time and the srChives are accommodating,
and it is a great Inconvenience to move
everything every time new officers are
selected; they advocate the purchasing
in some central point in Texas, Access
sible to railroads, a lot of ground on
which to erect a three-stOry building,
the lower rooms to be rented tor
stores, the second story to be cut up
into offices for the orders named, and the
third story to be used as place for state
meetings. By doing this the committee
believe that the orders will not only save
money, but have an income into
the treasures. The plan is GER
tainly feasible, and at the meeting Of the
County Alliances next July, the commit
tee suggests that 8 vote be taken upon
place of location. Waco should have the
stste headquarters.

BOARDING HOUSE GOSSIPS.
People Who Mind Everybody's Business
and Not Their Own.
PHILADELPHIA Press

Philadelphia Press.
There is hardly broading house in
Philadelphia where the private and
domestic affairs Of every one in it are not
as well known to every one else in it as
to themselves. What a woman is making
or doing, what she bought yesterday or Is
going to buy to-day, who she visits, who
visits her, how much her husband makes,
where he is il absent from g meal, how
much her last dress cost her, or just what
is the matter with her if she remains in
her room, are affairs quite as well known
to every other woman in the house as to
herself. There is in almost every board
ing house one or more women, usually
unmarried and no longer particularly ju-
venile, who make this their bust
ness in life To eat and know
what is going on is all they live for.
They seldom go out, have no interests or
occupation, and gradually every feminine
trait becomes subordinate until curiosity
becomes passion. Every time the bell
rings they know it, as they do the con-
tents of every bundle that arrives. They
see the letters at the plates before the
owners see them themselves, and
cleverly draw out Of the recipients who
they are from if it takes six months to do
it. They invite ard cultivate the conf
dence of every newcomer solely to minis
ter to their absorbing passion.
Quite often the woman who keeps the
boarding house is afflicted with this
frenzy herself, and the case is well authen-
ticated of a keeper of Questionable board
ing house in this city who opened and
read, by steaming them, the letters of
most of the ladies in the house for six
months before she was discovered. There
are a number OF boarding houses where
every letter and every package received
into the house is taken to the mistress
before they reach their rooms. In all
such espionage as this of course servants
have share, and, as rule, not only lend
themselves easily to it, but in time be-
come adopts themselves.
